What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide in plain sight, wearing baskets, hedges or hollows instead of stone. An angler may have seen a ring of reeds on the water, a child may have run through a hedge-fort at Dromcuan, and an army may have marched past without knowing it at all. The angle is a chamber, the chamber a room, the room a life; what is forgotten is not lost, it is waiting to be remembered.

Located in pasture towards the top of a SE-facing slope at the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. The monument is indicated as a small D-shaped area (diam. c. 25m) only on the 1911 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is described locally as a fort with a ring of bushes which was removed c. 1950. No archaeological feature is visible in pasture at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision:15 December 2011
